Well we are back from our Delaware vacation, and it was wonderful. I got to spend almost every day all day at the beach and Josh got to sleep in, use the computer at will, and go out to eat in 3 different restaurants (something he can never do up here having celiac's disease). The kids had a great time too; they had plenty of face time with mommy & daddy, and got to see their Granny, Gram & Pop alot too! I hope we can go back next year!
Yesterday and today it has been back to the grind of everyday life; and back to eating healthy!! I have two wedding the same day this Saturday and will only be able to make it to my friend Lauren's. This is really hard because on one hand I haven't seen any of my college friends in about a year (most recently Jolie in March, then Erika last August), and on the other hand I know that all my family, including a cousin I haven't seen in a year, will be at my cousin Ryan's wedding. I know that both weddings will be really fun too. I wish I could go to both!!! And now Josh can't go to Lauren's wedding which means I will be on my own =( This is ok... sort of! I will miss him, but, I won't feel bad that he can't eat anything while I'll be gobbling it up. No slow dancing for me =( No romantic mini vacation with just him and I.
On another note, I don't know where all our money goes!! We are always living paycheck to paycheck and I don't know why. I guess I just need to save up the daycare money and start working to pay off our little debts, like Josh's computer and his small student loans, and our credit card bill. It just never seems like we can save any money and it drives me crazy! Josh doesn't care, he does not think we need any savings or that we need to pay off any debt. And, all he talks about is more debt, like adding an addition to the house. I don't know how to make him see more plainly that all those little bills add up.
Update on the kiddos:
Kellen is talking all the time. At almost 15 months he can say: truck, car, dog, Boe Boe, Dada, Mama, hat, no, hello, poop, Jacer & Addison (these are ones where I know what he is saying but it isn't clear to others), baby, more, up, papa, Nene (what he calls Granny) and I'm sure there are some more that I cant' think of. He seems to do everything early compared to Addison, not sure if it is earlier than average though. He loves trucks and frequently yells truck and stops and listens and goes to the window when he hears one. He enjoys climbing onto the kitchen table which scares me!! He is at one of the best ages, I feel =) Loves to explore and play with people, go for walks etc. He also throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way lol.
Addison loves to play dress up and pretend. She still likes dancing, she just danced at the Seaway Festival which is a week long festival in Ogdensburg, and she danced the whole time, and then danced with the older girls. Everything these days is "I'm a mommy! I look just like a mommy!" She loved the ocean. Letting the waves smash into her was her favorite beach pastime. Yesterday, she came home from a quick trip to the local deli with Daddy saying "fucking car" and "fucking in the asshole!!" Josh swears he did not say asshole in front of her, but admits that he was following a car that didn't know what they were doing and said something like "what the fuck car!" I almost cried trying not to laugh when she said "fucking in the asshole." It is so hard not to laugh and to try and reprimand a child for something when you secretly think it's funny. However, it would not be funny in public or in front of other family members so mommy had to explain that "fuck is a bad word that only Daddys & Mommys can say." She didn't say it again yesterday, but, she probably will at the most inappropriate time, lol. Luckily, I don't get embarrass very easily!!!!! I haven't decided if I am going to send her to nursery school this fall or not. I know that she will have fun, however, there isn't really anything that she will learn that I can't teach her. And, I would have to find a ride and of course pay for the classes.
